Prime Minister

Chapter 632 Lu Gongbi

This is an ordinary day.

Zhang Yue walked on the palace road as usual, and the time was also the same as in the past.

The officials in the corridor of His Highness gathered in twos and threes, and the most talked about was the new law.

Zhang Yue bowed his hands with them, and continued to walk along the corridor to the main hall.

"Sauro!"

Zhang Yue suddenly heard someone calling him, and he couldn't help being surprised when he looked back.

"Big man!"

Zhang Yue walked up to Ouyang Fa and looked him up and down, but saw that he was only 30 years old, but his temples were already gray, and his face was full of vicissitudes.

Ouyang Fa and Zhang Yue held hands, and they were full of emotion for a moment.

"In the fourth year of Zhiping, when my father and I left the capital, all thoughts were lost. I was humiliated and pointed at by others. I was looking for a place that no one knew. This is the rest of my life."

"However, you have invited me over and over again, and my wife is also very considerate. This time, I have received the grace of His Majesty to grant Jinshi and the first birth. I really don't know how to be grateful."

"Yes, it's great to see Mr. Da Lang again. Recently, I keep thinking about the past. I remember that when I first entered the capital, I was taken in by my uncle and Mr. Da Lang... and then..."

Talking about the past, Zhang Yue's memory gate seemed to be opened all of a sudden.

When I first entered Ouyang Xiu's house, I met Ouyang Fa and Mrs. Wu, and after I got Ouyang Xiu's agreement, I was able to marry the Wu family...

"Yes, how is uncle?"

"Although my father is not in good health and he is getting old now, he is still contented. He calls himself a Layman Liuyi. Do you know where this name came from?"

Of course Zhang Yue knew it, but he still asked, "Why do you say that?"

Ouyang Fa smiled and said: "These six ones are a piano, a game of chess, ten thousand volumes of books, one thousand collections of ancient records, and the last two ones. Saburo will definitely not be able to guess."

When Zhang Yue heard the words, his heart was touched and he said: "It's a pot of wine, an old man!"

Ouyang was stunned for a moment and then said: "No wonder my father often said that Du is very clever. My father's original name is a drunkard, and this pot of wine is an old man."

Zhang Yue smiled wryly, regretting that he shouldn't have said so much: "Uncle's generosity is far beyond my reach."

Ouyang Fa shook his head and said: "Sanlang, don't underestimate yourself, my father and Han Weigong value you very much. Han Weigong said that the one who can set things right in the future is none other than you!"

Set things right?

So Wang Anshi's reform is chaotic.

That's right, both Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu were unanimously opposed to the Green Crop Law.

Zhang Yue believes that the young crop method also has its drawbacks, but now it must be overcorrected, and we will clean up the mess later.

Zhang Yue thought of this, and said to Ouyang: "I'm ashamed, I'm afraid I'll disappoint Duke Han and uncle's expectations!"

Ouyang Fa said: "Du Zhi..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Yuetu warned: "If the official asks you about the method of young crops, you must not say how bad this method is. Just say that you were sick in bed a few days ago and don't know what's going on."

Ouyang Fa couldn't help but said, "Sanlang, you've been an official for a long time, and you've become less courageous."

Zhang Yue was taken aback when he heard the words, but didn't speak.

Ouyang Fa also felt that the tone was a little heavy, and said: "Whether the Qingmiao method is good or not, Sanlang will know when he goes to the place, but I have come all the way, it is really hard to call it a good method!"

"My father said that although people in the world know that it is not the official's intention to take profits from the young crops law, the interest for half is too high, but the order only pays a few yuan of the capital, so that it can benefit the people. Now he has decided to stop the distribution of young crops money in office. Already!"

Zhang Yue was surprised when he heard this.What is the result of the scattered young crops' money? Several officials lost their positions because of this, and Ouyang Xiu actually took the lead to fight against the imperial government's decree.

Ouyang Fa said: "my father acted out of sincerity and straightforwardness all his life, so he has no pretensions. I ask myself if I am not talented, but I also learn a thing or two from him."

Zhang Yue knew Ouyang Xiu's temperament. He was as frank as an official and his articles, admonishing directly and never avoiding danger.

"Sanlang...the young crop method is not good, why don't you speak up?"

Zhang Yue remained silent. He couldn't say that although I am now an official, there is still too little that can really be changed.

Ouyang Fa knew that Zhang Yue was unwilling to speak out with him, so he was a little disappointed. If Ouyang Fa knew that Zhang Yue had drafted the new crop law, he didn't know how to be angry.

The two walked and chatted, while talking, they suddenly saw Lu Gongbi, the privy envoy, coming out of the Chongzheng Palace with a bald scarf, and his official hat was nowhere to be found.

As the prime minister, Lu Gongbi is really terrifying!
Officials are the most important appearance, and it is very rude to walk in the bald scarf.

As a privy envoy, why did Lu Gongbi come here in such a hurry?So far?
"Why is the Prime Minister here?"

An official sighed: "The official family followed the Wang and Han's proposals to set up the West Court of Judges. Prime Minister Lu Shu was not angry about impeaching Wang Canzheng. How could he know that this matter was not secret, and he did not know who leaked it. Wang Canzheng first said that Lu Shuxiang was not, Today, Prime Minister Lu Shu went to the hall to defend himself first, so..."

"First Lu Zhongcheng, then Prime Minister Lu Shu, Wang Jiefu is really amazing, but he dismissed two high-ranking officials of the Lu family in one month. Who would have imagined how glorious the Lu family was a month ago."

Zhang Yue listened to the conversation between the two officials, and knew that Lu Gongbi would most likely be dismissed as a result of his efforts in the palace today.

Thinking back when Lv Yijian was prime minister for decades, it can be said that his disciples and old officials were all over the world. After the official came to the throne, Lv Gongbi served as a privy envoy, and Lv Gong wrote as a censor Zhongcheng, which can be described as powerful, but the two brothers were dismissed within a month .

At this moment, everyone's attitude towards the Lu family is based on seeing him building a tall building, seeing him entertaining guests, and seeing his building collapse.

Standing aside, Zhang Yue watched the gray-haired Lu Gongbi walk down the steps slowly. He suddenly remembered the short time when he was the third division and the other party was the third division envoy and they worked together.

Such a character ended up in this way.

At this time when Lu Gongbi was walking, many officials avoided suspicion and left, but Zhang Yue and Lu Gongbi were still relatives by marriage, so they stepped forward and said, "Is there anything for Lu Gong to serve as an official?"

Lu Gongbi's eyes were originally slack, but seeing Zhang Yue's eyes focus again, he said, "It's Du Zhi! This is Bo He!"

Ouyang Xiu's family is not that close to Lu Gongbi.

But Lu Gongbi grabbed Ouyang Fa's hand and asked, "Has Uncle Yong come to Beijing?"

Ouyang Fa said: "My father has not arrived in Beijing."

Lu Gongbi nodded and said: "It's fine if you don't come, the affairs of the world are already unstoppable, and after you are saved, it's up to you to clean up the mess."

Zhang Yue felt that his chest was tight when he heard the words, but he still couldn't bear to see Lu Gongbi like this.

Zhang Yue let Ouyang Fa take a step ahead, and he helped Lu Gongbi walk for a while before returning to the hall.

Zhang Yue and Ouyang Fa entered the palace successively.

After Ouyang Fa entered the hall for a cup of tea, Zhang Yue just entered the hall.

As soon as Zhang Yue entered the hall, he heard Wang Anshi play to the officials in the hall: "Your Majesty, people like Ouyang Xiu are good at following popular customs, and regard Han Qi as the minister of the country. Such a person will destroy a county in a county, and in the court It will ruin the imperial court, please let it go!"

As for Ouyang Fa, holding a memorial in his hand, he knelt on the spot without saying a word.
